I would just go with a complete turbo kit from a reputable company like Full-Race or Go-autoworks.

Do your research in the forced induction forum and use google : )

You got a 230 whp all motor car and now you want turbo? You might as well buy a new engine because almost everything in that setup is going to have to go for a turbo build. That, or you don't actually have a 230 whp all motor GS-R.

like he said ur prolly running high compression style, and thats a really good way to blow ur **** up with a turbo. anything above 10:1 is to much for boost IMO

That's great but you didn't exactly say so in your OP. Announcing that you have a fully built B18 and that it isn't enough and you want turbo without saying that you've got another engine sitting around, or even what it is, raised red flags for me. You may be legit but many first-time posters around here aren't. Also, the better the information you provide, the better your feedback will be.

On a GS-R engine 300 whp isn't super high but I don't think you could get away without doing some bottom end work and keep running for long. I'd check the turbo section and see if you can find builds that match your power goals and use those as a starting point.

I would think you could make it happen easy for $5k. If you don't get the answers you need here try again in the turbo forum.

I doubt you're gonna be able to run FI without rebuilding your block. I'm assuming since you're putting down 230 WHP you've got some pretty high compression to compliment your cams.

Also, what made you decide 300 hp on an FI build would satisfy your need for speed? What's your 1/4 mile now with 230 whp? What is your 1/4 mile goal with 300 hp FI?

300 is a lot to me too, but the turbo people can push 600 on cars that can be driven on the street. H3ll, I'd be happy with 230 lol.

I doubt 300 hp on FI build will be faster than a 12.4 sec. pass.
My buddy's GSR with 310-315 hp runs a 12.2-12.3, whereas my other buddy with 236 whp runs a 11.9-12, that's why I asked what your 1/4 mile goal with 300 hp is.
What's your setup consist of now? Perhaps you should just optimize your current setup and save some money and time instead of going FI.
